I'd put Joe Mesi on there but I think he achieved everything he was going to BAR a true title challenge. His career was halted due to injury and that was a shame. Calvin Brock also achieved all he was going to which included a title shot, he did quite well for a late starter in the game.
Either I don't get the question or our definition of hopeful is different. I don't think I ever had any hope that any one of these guys would amount to much.
Those guys were all highly rated as young professionals and some even highly rated amateurs. Jorge Luis Gonzales beat Teofilo Stevenson for fucks sake AND he was 6'7 with an 82" reach....so YEAH he should have been a lot more than what he was....but I guess you knew he would fail miserably

David Izon and Friday Ahunaya were compared to Ike Ibeabuchi

Odlanier Solis was an Olympic Gold medalist with a very bright future.....but that brightness was apparently the Hot & Now sign at Krispy Kreme

But hey, to each their own you don't think those guys had promise as pros that's fine
